Well, I can help with the reset, but not the repairman! We are having the same problem with ours. You have to actually reset the oven by turning off the breaker in your house's breaker box. When you turn it back on the oven will be unlocked. However .... we continue to have the same problem with our oven failing to ignite............Well, I can help with the reset, but not the repairman! We are having the same problem with ours.

Find the paper in the envelope on the back of the stove. (Behind the console.) This will tell you what those fault codes mean. Be sure to replace the paper. If it is needed again, that is where a technician will look for it.

I had the same problem happen tonight. I have an XL44 self-cleaning gas range. We unplugged it for several minutes and pressed 'cancel' a bunch of times--neither worked. We finally lucked out--opened the oven door and pressed a black button on the upper left side of the front of the oven. It turned out the flashing words and unlocked our door. Weird. There was nothing in the manual about this...

I could not make that model number ya posted work but your question sounds to me like that dude is a direct spark stove. If your top burners are lighting then you have a good spark module. That means the oven control is not getting confirmation of ignition and has tried several times and finally locked out. If it do lock out it stays locked out for a while. Also ignition is not instantaneous and you will have to allow for the process to do it's thang. I wrote a tip for these stoves and included a service manual HERE.

I would suggest that you remove pilot assembly from gas valve and burner and clean pilot orifice and see if that helps. Be careful when cleaning hole in the orifice so you don't enlarge the hole. Good luck and thank you.

When a gas stove is clicking, it means it is trying to ignite the burner. If the knob is held in the ignite position for more then 3 seconds and the burner does not ignite, it means that (1) the gas is shut off to the stove, (2) she does not have gas service set-up yet at the apartment, or (3) the gas nozzles feeding the burner are dirty and clogged.

Most of the time, when you move to a new apartment, you need to call the gas company and have the gas turned on, unless it is included in your rent. Either way, when a house or apartment is unoccupied, the gas is turned off for safety reasons. I would contact the landlord to be sure.

Most modern
gas ovens and many broilers use a "glow-bar" style of igniter that
glows red-hot to ignite the gas. If the igniter doesn't reach the
proper temperature, the gas valve won't open. You may need to replace
the igniter.
